Christmas this year was very different for us. Since I was in England for the 10 days preceding Christmas we didn't get to do our traditional stuff as a family, I missed out on the carols, hot cocoa, the traditional Christmas movies, and looking at lights. We never did manage to get our nativity put up. Needless to say, it didn't really feel like Christmas to me and still doesn't even now. I think that the ultimate gift this year was the fact that I did make it home for Christmas, I walked in about 3:30 am, but I was here. Here are some of the highlights.

Peppa pig for Kami from the UK, Kami loves Peppa pig
Kaite's snow globe from London
Ash's fairy books from London, these are the newest released ones that probably won't be available here until the end of next year.
Blankets from Grandma B
My vase that I LOVE
Kami's big gift this year was a scooter. Santa brought her the pads and all morning she kept asking to open one certain present when I asked her why she said "that's my new scooter" she said that is why Santa brought her pads. I still can't figure out how she new it was a scooter!
The girls got furniture for their new dollhouse
This is actually my old dollhouse that we fixed up and the girls are going to help us redecorate it, they love it.
Kami on her scooterWe did have a good Christmas and I wasn't as tired as I thought I would be. I had been up 31 hours by the time I went to bed Christmas eve, crazy! Anyway, the girls were so happy that "Santa" brought me home to them. My mom came up and stayed the night with us and the girls loved having her here for presents. Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas dresses, they wore them this past Sunday since I wasn't here the previous one.
I will post about London later. I have a TON of pictures to go through so it will take a few posts to get everything in.
